The Commission on Human Security was launched in January 2001 to focus on a number of distinct but interrelated issues concerning conflict and poverty: protecting people in conflict and post-conflict situations, shielding people forced to move, overcoming economic insecurities, guaranteeing essential health care, and ensuring universal education. The Commission's report proposes a new security framework that centers directly and specifically on people.
At this round-table discussion, Mrs. Sadako Ogata, co-chair of the Commission on Human Security and Former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, will present the report, followed by commentary from other panelists and participants. The second panel consists of a discussion of the policy implications of the report in each panelist's area of expertise. Your participation is very welcome.
